Da alcuni anni si studiano i rapporti tra crescita della popolazione e stato dell'ambiente e le reciproche interrelazioni. Conoscere le variabili demografiche e ambientali, oltre che quelle economiche con cui queste interagiscono, aiuterebbe i rischi che determinati comportamenti possono produrre in termini di impatto ambientale.
BACKGROUND: The Third District House is a weakened
custodial institution that houses drug addicts who want to
participate in a recovery and rehabilitation program. The aim

The steady increase in the number of elderly people in the population, induced by factors that embody human progress (reduced mortality, tendential improvement in living standards and lifestyles, etc.) has become over the years an important issue in the organisation of contemporary societies, as regards retirement or health, for example. With different intensities and with different historical calendars, all societies are concerned by this.
This work, the fruit of a wide-ranging international research programme, analyses the ongoing changes in lifestyles and life cycles in various societies in the Mediterranean basin.
Habitat loss and fragmentation are threatening amphibians by increasing population isolation. However, artificial waterbodies created for livestockmay contrast this phenomenon by providing surrogate habitats for amphibians. Here, we performed a genetic study on an amphibian species, Lissotriton vulgaris meridionalis, in a rural area in central Italy where natural wetlands are disappearing and drinking troughs for cattle watering are widespread.
